Milling
To manufacture your parts with high accuracy and quick rapids, our precision CNC milling centers are equipped with 3-, 4- and 5-axis machines using automatic multi-tool turrets, programmable indexers, and a large selection of support tooling. We are equipped to meet exacting standards to + .0002 tolerances. Some of these machines have rapids of up to 1,400 inches per minute. We are also capable of performing high-speed rigid tapping, making our manufacturing process more efficient by allowing for less manual labor.
- 3, 4 and 5-axis machining
- + .0002 tolerances
- Automated multi-tool turrets
- Programmable indexers
- Up to 1,400 ipm rapids
Turning
Our facilities include high performance 6-axis CNC lathes with up to 18” chuck capacities to complete your turned parts as efficiently as possible and to extremely tight tolerances. Most of our lathes are equipped with bar feeders, allowing for fully automatic operation.
- Up to 6-axis CNC turning
- + .0002 tolerances
- 18″ chuck capacities
- Equipped for fully automatic operation
Value-added services
